Negotiations stall between Sea Eagles and Rose

Cult prop George Rose wants to finish his career at the Manly Sea Eagles but hasn’t ruled out switching clubs should prolonged negotiations fall through.

The 28-year-old has been in career-best form since lining up for the Indigenous All Stars earlier this year but the Herald understands negotiations are at a standstill, as the Sea Eagles also look to accommodate fellow off-contract props Jason King and Brent Kite.

”We are talking to Manly at the moment and hopefully they keep me – it’s my first preference,” Rose said. ”But if not, I’m available. I’m 28 and I feel I’m in the best form of my career and there are still a lot of things I want to do. There’s a lot more I want to do and keep improving.
